Notice: 1.7.10 version needs VoltzEngine, 1.12.2 is stand-alone and has no dependencies at this time.
Notice: ICBM has no built in power generators. It is recommended to install another mod such as Mekanism, Actual additions, IC2, and Thermal Expansion to get power for the machines.
ICBM-Classic
Everyone loves PvP and blowing your enemies up with style... but how do you get those explosives to your enemy. That is where missiles come into play. With ICBM classic you gain the ability to craft a wide range of explosives, mount them on missiles, and launch them into an orbital path with your foe.
Oh, but it doesn't stop there with just a few quick explosions. ICBM classic has a range of different styles to meet the needs of a growing empire. Starting with the classic TNT explosion embodied by the condensed and breaching charge. To step up your game it includes more specialized explosives such as the sonic, repulsion, antigravity, and emp. To top it off it includes the favorite thermobaric and nuclear explosions to give a warm welcome. Finally at the end when your enemy still has not had enough ICBM classic presents the Antimatter and Redmatter explosions. For when you need an entire base to disappear or in the latter be crushed into nothingness by a blackhole.

Different Versions
This version is a direct port of Calclavia's ICBM last updated in for Minecraft 1.6.4. The current mod that uses the name ICBM is a complete rewrite and redesign not based on the original.
Sentries
In order to provide a more flexible install and to reduce the complexity of development, sentries have been recreated as an Armory dependency called ICBM-Sentries.

Q.A.
Q: No longer uses VE?
A: For newer versions it was decided to remove the dependency on VE.
Q: How to do I get copper?
A: It is expected that you download a large tech mod to pair with ICBM-Classic. If you don't plan to do this, dungeon loot boxes do contain copper ingots.
Q: How do I get sulfur?
A: For the 1.12 version creepers will drop sulfur 2x as often as gunpowder. This can be used to craft the explosive and make gunpowder.
Q: How do I power the launchers?
A: Use a support power system (Forge Energy for 1.12, Redstone Flux for 1.7, IC2, etc). Then connect something that can feed power into the launcher. For 1.12 any part of the launcher will work. For 1.7 the controller and frame will work.
If desired, the 1.12 version can disable the power requirement via the in game config. This can be toggled while playing and does not require a restart.
Q: why two versions?
A: Short answer, to better support the community's desire for different gameplay styles.
Long answer, When ICBM was updated it was redesigned from the ground up. This upset a lot of die-hard fans and left a hole where the old version existed. People loved the simple nature of the classic version and wanted to experience it again. Which we hoped would be filled and continued in parrel with the rewrite. This led to the idea to let the community update the mod and resulted in the creation of defensetech. Which was not heading anywhere fast so we updated the original as a thank you to the community. Plus I have to admit, I did love the original - DarkCow
Q: Why Defense Tech?
A: Aidian was given permission by our team to work on his own version. The hope was that he would create a good match for the original. This never worked out but he is welcome to continue trying in the future.
Q: Do you plan to add more content?
A: Not sure, right now the goal is to keep to the original design and update for newer versions. At some point, there might be a few minor additions.
Q: Calclavia made ICBM why are you developing it?
A: Yes, Calclavia made the original mod but did not work on it alone. I, DarkGuardsman aka DarkCow, helped with the mod and UE before the team disbanded. During the disband I traded Calclavia for ICBM in order to prevent it from being abandoned. As it was clear Calclavia lost love for working on the mod long before the team disbanded.
Is this mod still being updated?
In reply to Expertcoderz:
Yes, we're currently working on a rewrite of parts of the mod.
In reply to Expertcoderz:
Ya its still under heavy rewrite for the API changes.
I cant use homing missile or tracker in 1.12.2 do u know why is it ? tracker is not tracking anyone and homing missile is going to space bro
Could you guys add fallout and radiation
In reply to AReallySadPerson:
Radiation is added in the Atomic Science mod which is created by the same developer who made this mod.
In reply to Expertcoderz:
Yep, which is still in development with plans to split off the radiation mechanics as a library to share between mods.
Hey can you make that EMP tower will drain energy from energy storage or machines from all the blocks that are in its range?
I saw that it has the option to work on other stuff than missiles but id doesn't seem to work with machines so I think this could be fun and in some cases, useful addition and this could work well with other mods such as Thermal Series, IC2 or Nuclear Craft :)

Are chemical explosives uncraftable at the moment or is this an issue with my server?
edit:
https://pastebin.com/V4tvJtDH
(might have errors from client-side mods, chem explosive still uncraftable)I have yet to remove client side mods from server.In reply to TheSeanson:
Issues need to go to the github issue tracker. Other than that it very likely is the client side mod as its craftable in the latest alpha on our test server.
In reply to DarkGuardsman:
Didnt wanna clog up the tracker with a non issue. Didn't wanna waste my time trying to fix if it was unfixable.
I'll be back once I figure out more problems on my end.
Thanks!
In reply to TheSeanson:
worst case I just close the ticket... honestly its far easier to track on github and users can search for already closed/open tickets.
I hope the EMP/general problems/bugs are fixed and computer craft support is added, but I'm just happy that it's been updated to 1.12.2! Thanks for working on/updating it!
In reply to justluce:
We just sent a pull request to forge to help solve the EMP issues in the near future. It likely will be a month before its added to forge and a little longer to backport to 1.12 from the 1.14 version of forge. When this happens we should have an easy way to remove energy from most machines using the forge energy system directly. Mods like mekanism and Thermal Expansion might take a little longer to sort out.
Computer Craft support is still low priority to add back. its not hard but its also not a critical feature. With only 10 hours a week of my time for all projects it might take someone to submit a proper change to the mod in my place.
the EMP doesn't work either
In reply to ivanthecracka:
Its been noted in the comments and a few other places that the EMP is limited due to the forge energy system. We have yet to build a work around for this as its low priority compared to other on going fixes and improvements.
antiballistic missiles are not working, they just miss their target and the missile is not expended from the silo
In reply to ivanthecracka:
Current version requires a rather strange setup to work. In which you need to pre-target the AB missile to fire in the expected attack direction. Then have it triggered by a radar ahead of the flight path of the AB. Its a horrible way to go about it but its what we have until a rework is possible.
Can you make it for I can make this work with atomic science?
